International Exposition Center

I've been to a few expo center's in my day, and this one seems to have been the biggest one yet! I came here for the cat expo and was surprised at how big it was.They do charge a $10 parking fee and the lot's HUGE. I found out that they do have an uber drop off area on the East side of the building if you want to avoid the parking fee and skip the walking part through the parking lot. this place is also adjacent to the airport, so be prepared for low flying planes!Walking in its a very large space and there were people directing foot traffic when you get there. They also have TV screens with welcome messages and other information so keep an eye out for that.The event I went to was on the main floor so it was easy to find. I didn't see a ticket booth area since I purchased my tickets ahead of time. Regarding food, I can't tell which vendors were permanent or visiting. They had a variety of items to choose from, but I also assume the selection varies depending on what event is happening.The layout of your event may vary depending on how stuff is set up here, but the first time I needed to go to the bathroom, I had to walk down a huge flight of stairs into the basement area. Bathrooms seemed well kept here, but the stairs are not handicap friendly. The second time I had to go (before I left) that restroom was far easier to use due to the lack of stairs. There's plenty of signage around so you know where you're going to find them.They had a cool entry way into the building with plenty of ceiling decor and stars hanging throughout which was nice to look at. Place was in good shape overall, and quite huge.

Auto showWe visited the auto show and had a great time. Parking was free. Not as many cars in typical years past but still a great experience. More food options. Since the place was reopened it also appeared to be brighter and cleaner.

I recently went to the I-X Center for an art expo. You have to pay to park, I think it was $10. The space itself is huge. It can host multiple expos at once. The decor is a bit dated, but overall the space was clean and airy.

I've been visiting the IX Center since I was a kid. I was always mesmerized by its size. On this visit to the Cleveland Auto Show, the floor plan was rearranged in an unusual way. They were doing renovations on the IX Center, which apparently disallowed the regular auto show floor plan. So we had to walk for five minutes after entering the west side building to get to the auto show, which was on display on the east side of the building. During the walk, there were some very interesting pictures on display of the IX Center when it was a tank factory.Amazingly, the auto show takes up less than 25% of the floor space available and it's no small auto show. This building is huge.

I'm so glad they are back open. I love going to all the shows they have here. I went today for the Christmas Connection. There was so many vendors and food options. It was a great way to spend the day. I look forward to other shows including the auto show. It's got great parking and very easy to get to.

This is a big center where several events are held throughout the year. So far in 2019, I visited for the International Cat Show (no, I don't actually like cats that much...haha), the Trick or Treat Halloween event, and the Christmas Connection event. All those events were fun and you can view my attached photos. BUILDING - As stated earlier, the building is huge. There is security present and always someone willing to help if you have a question. FOOD - There is a food court inside but the food is expensive. The food is basically fast food such as pizza and fries so nothing healthy. Coffee and tea are for sale too. Parking fee varies per event but I've never had to pay since I came as a vendor. You can never be bored in Cleveland because there is always something to do so hop on down to the I-X center for your next family fun activity. I heard that the CAR SHOW is a popular event that is held here but I've never been to it. ****- 150 total reviews in 2019- 359 total overall Yelp reviews- Reviewed on 14 December 2019

We went to the Home & Garden Show at the I-X Center. I'm glad that they bring in a lot of different shows that we can go and get some steps in. Of course it's always very crowded. The Home and Garden show is great way to get acquainted with different businesses, contractors, etc. There is also so many other vendors there that have nothing to do with Home nor Garden.The flowers are so beautiful, great job with the displays. I know how difficult and time consuming these shows can be. They had a separate area with beautiful backyard decks, etc. Honestly it's a phenomenal way to dream for awhile. A little piece of beautiful heaven.The beverages are too expensive. A beer was $10 for 20 ounces. A coffee mocha was over $5, this was not a Starbucks.

This is a nice space for an expo or show. It has a ferris wheel in the center, and when you are at the top you can actually see outside/over the building. They have a number of food items that are realistically priced (unlike some convention centers that charge for food like a movie theater.) It is very convenient to the interstate, the Cleveland airport, and Cleveland itself. The parking lot is also large, and on the premises.I was here today for the International Motorcycle Show. The venue is large enough to have stunt shows.

The IX center is a shining gem in the area of Cleveland Hopkins Airport. It is a cavernous former tank plant turned into an exposition center. Everything from the car show to the indoor amusement park to concerts are held here. What fewer people may know, however, is that there are a large number of meeting rooms located in the basement for events. I attended one of those this week, and it was a great venue. Additionally, the catering is shockingly good. For two days, lunch was some of the best banquet style food I've had. I was surprised and impressed. Ample parking is available. I have many great memories from the IX Center from over the decades, from seeing the Jurassic dinosaur event to the I Love the 90s tour, and look forward to continuing to make many more great memories there.

I am going to echo what a lot of people already said below, but this place was really nice, and exceeded my expectations. We drove up from Pittsburgh for the big motorcycle show, and this place was easy to get to, traffic getting in was not too bad, parking was reasonable ($10) and it was a very cool venue. The bike show was well laid out, and the place was nicely decorated, had clean restrooms, and lots of food and drink options (although I didn't eat or drink anything here, because I had packed my own drinks and snacks (and nobody stopped me from bringing my own food and drink, so that was cool)). I hear this place was an old tank factory from WWII, but it was not evident at all that this was an old building. It felt modern and very bright and well lit inside. ALSO, believe this or not, but they had a giant Ferris Wheel inside that people were riding!! I had never seen anything like this before outside of Las Vegas. After the show, it was easy getting out, and they also had a cool old airplane on display outside the building (and this building was located right next to the airport, so you got to see lots of airplanes taking off on the runway next to this center, really cool if you happen to like seeing airplanes) . . . I would definitely come back here again . . . Cheers!
